My Way News - Analysis: Netanyahu cornered by hawks and Obama
AP reports: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will attempt to narrow a growing divide with the Obama administration when he delivers a major policy speech in the coming days, his aides say - perhaps even endorsing the concept of a Palestinian state at the risk of alienating his hawkish coalition."

Comment: It's time to pray not just for the peace of Jerusalem but for the resolve of Benjamin Netanyahu. We don't even need to put this into religious terms about giving up covenant land, we can put this into cold hard political terms: there is simply no evidence that giving up even more land to the Palestinians will suddenly turn them into peace-loving neighbors. Matters of state security should not be decided on wishful thinking.
